[RESOLVED] GetAsync returning RemoteFunction with "Request rejected" instead of math.huge? [closed]
LocalScript. buyButton is a SurfaceGui button. Both descend from PlayerGui.
1 | buyButton.MouseButton1Click:connect(function() |
2 | if tonumber(func:InvokeServer({"GetToolLastPurchased", toolsToRentOrBuy[index][1]})) > 60*60*24--[[24 hours Also on Script line 71]] then --Line 59 |
3 | --snip |
4 | else |
5 | --Already purchased recently |
6 | end |
7 | end) |
Script, descendant of Workspace.
01 | local func = Instance.new("RemoteFunction", Game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")) |
02 | func.Name = "inspiredMessage" --To avoid potential name conflicts. |
03 | function func.OnServerInvoke(player, args) |
04 | if args[1] == "GetToolLastPurchased" then |
05 | local testVar = store:GetAsync(player.Name) |
06 | if not testVar or testVar == "Request rejected" then |
07 | return math.huge |
08 | elseif not testVar[args[2]] then |
09 | return math.huge |
10 | else |
11 | return Tick() - testVar[args[2]] |
12 | end |
13 | --snip |
14 | end |
15 | end |
Output (From Client, not Server):
22:54:48.521 - Request rejected
22:54:48.522 - Script 'Players.Player1.PlayerGui.LocalScript', Line 59
22:54:48.523 - stack end
22:54:48.524 - Players.Player1.PlayerGui.LocalScript:59: attempt to compare number with nil
22:54:48.525 - Script 'Players.Player1.PlayerGui.LocalScript', Line 59
22:54:48.526 - stack end
"Request rejected" is a string returned by GetAsync when trying to access a DataStore from a test Server, which I am.
My problem is that "Request rejected" is getting sent to the Client, not math.huge which I am expecting. The LocalScript isn't breaking, but I can't figure out how to make this work as I expect it to.
Any help?

Well, judging from
22:54:48.524 - Players.Player1.PlayerGui.LocalScript:59: attempt to compare number with nil
I'm guessing the issue is that OnServerInvoke is returning nil. I suspect what this means is that your key hasn't been defined yet. If this is true, try replacing line 5 in the Script with...
1 | local testVar = store:GetAsync(player.Name) or "Request rejected" |
Turns out, GetAsync does not return nil when there is no value associated with the key. It just returns absolutely nothing (try verifying that by attempting to print the type of an undefined key...). This is pretty annoying, but using or we can remedy that by providing a fallback value for us to use in case there's no value.
Here's what it would look like with that fix...
01 | local func = Instance.new("RemoteFunction", Game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")) |
02 | func.Name = "inspiredMessage" --To avoid potential name conflicts. |
03 | function func.OnServerInvoke(player, args) |
04 | if args[1] == "GetToolLastPurchased" then |
05 | local testVar = store:GetAsync(player.Name) or "Request rejected" |
06 | if type(testVar) ~= "table" then -- Assuming testVar should be a table. |
07 | return math.huge |
08 | elseif not testVar[args[2]] then |
09 | return math.huge |
10 | else |
11 | return Tick() - testVar[args[2]] |
12 | end |
13 | --snip |
14 | end |
15 | end |
